The funeral will be held later for a 14-year-old girl thought to have killed herself after being bullied online.


Hannah Smith was found hanged at her home in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, on 2 August.


The funeral for family and close friends is due to take place at St Mary's Church in the town at 09:30 BST.


Ask.fm, the website she used, has ordered a "full and independent audit" of the site and its safety features.


It was due to announce the findings later but has postponed this until Monday "out of respect to Hannah, her family and their grief".


Ask.fm allows people to post comments anonymously and Hannah's father said he found posts telling his daughter to die.


Mr Smith has called for the website to be shut down.


Ask.fm's bosses have said they are committed to ensuring the site is a safe environment.
